    mtd: fix wrong usage of ioremap_nocache() in uclinux.c map driver · 08a3c4bc
    Greg Ungerer authored
    The uclinux.c mapping driver uses ioremap_nocache() to map its physical
    mapping address to a system virtual address. Problem is that the region
    it is mapping is not device memory. It is ordinary system RAM. On most
    non-MMU systems this doesn't matter, and the mapping is always a 1:1
    translation of the address. On paged memory systems on some architectures
    the page table mappings are not compatible between normal RAM and device
    memory.
    
    If we want to use the uclinux.c mapping driver on real MMU enabled systems
    we should be using the kernel virtual address that the mapping is at. For
    architectures that support the traditional initrd they use phys_to_virt or
    __va to convert the physical start initrd address to a kernel usable virtual
    address. The uclinux filesystem mapping is even more restrictive than the
    typical initrd, it always follows the kernels own bss section (so always in
    directly mapped memory). Therefore we can use the usual phys_to_virt to
    translate the physical start address to a virtual address.
